Faith

What is Faith?

Faith to me is as the bible says in Hebrews, the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things unseen. That is our belief as Christians, but what we fail to realize at times is that there are numerous types of faith that are mentioned in the bible. I was able to come up with at least 60 different ones. Which type of faith do you have.

1. LITTLE FAITH: “If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?” (Matthew 6:30). (See also Matthew 8:26; 14:31; 16:8.)

2. GREAT FAITH: “When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.” (Matthew 8:10). (See also Matthew 15:28.)

3. NO FAITH: “He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” (Mark 4:40). (See also Mark 6:6.)

4. TAUNTING FAITH: “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him” (Matthew 27:42).

6. STOLEN FAITH: “Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved” (Luke 8:12).

7. LOST FAITH: “And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him” (Luke 8:25).

9. PRECIOUS FAITH: “Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:1).

12. HINDERED FAITH: “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them” (2 Corinthians 4:4). (See also John 5:44; Acts 13:8.)

13. USELESS FAITH: “Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue” (John 12:42).

14. FAITH FILLED: “And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people” (Acts 6:8). (See also Acts 6:5; 11:24.)
